Method and system for mitigating errors when processing print stream data

A system for use in connection with a mailpiece inserter, the system operative to process and print data indicative of content material pages, the system comprising:

• a processor including program code for system operation and application software for generating the print data;
• and
• a printer integrated with the mailpiece inserter and operative to receive compatible print data for printing the pages of mailpiece content material;
• the operating system program code (i) operable to render the print data into compatible print data for use by the integrated printer;
• (ii) defining a write path for the transmission of data between the application software and a spool file, (iii) defining a read path for the transmission of data between the spool file and a print processor, and (iv) operable to alternately enable one of the write and read paths while disabling the other of the write and read paths.
